ANDOR Episode 4 BREAKDOWN (STARKILLER!!)

  • Episode 4 I really enjoyed. While I feel casual Star Wars fans may find it too slow, I found it to be really engaging with the lore and overall trajectory of where the show will go. I think Andor is on its way to be a really great show with what I just saw.
    The show dives into the cogs and gears of the empire as well as the early formation of the rebellion and I can’t wait to see more of the smaller characters as well as the bigger main ones. Such as Mas Amedda, sly Moore, krennic, Tarkin, thrown, Vader, and Palpatine.
    We start the episode off with Andor and Luthen as they head to Aldani, as cassian grabs a med pack to bandage his blaster wound. As they head into hyperspace, Luthen asks Cassian to come help him with something important. As Cassian tries to learn who Luthen is, he asks who are you, alliance, sep, guerrilla, partisan front? These were all factions that would later come together to form the alliance to restore the republic, but it won’t officially happen for a few more years closer to a new hope. When he says seps, he is referring to separatists, which was the faction lead by Count Dooku during the clone wars. Luthen says, aren’t those all the same, as now the only thing that exists is the empire, so everything else is kind of just seen as the same thing. As Cassian tells him he doesn’t want to fight anymore, as he’s seen enough war in the battle of Mimban, when he was 16.
    now we saw the battle of Mimban in Solo a Star Wars story. But even before that it was a world that was fought over by the clones and the separatists particularly the 224th and 501st battalions. However of course this didn’t last because the Empire took over. So once that happened, Mimban rebelled against the Empire, and we got the battle of Mimban which we saw in solo. Mimban was rich of minerals that the empire wanted. This was where the empire tried to and upon Cassian’s intrigued behaviour, Luthen tells him there’s a heist to steal the quarterly payroll for an imperial site. This means it could be more than just money, maybe even all the files and documents. The Battle of Mimban was a nightmare as the planet was full of mud and fog requiring tons of upkeep for the army headed there and the troops who suffered harsh conditions surviving on the terrain. Luthen tells him that Cassian was only there for 6 months and he ran away.
    Luthen gives a motivational speech and says he came specifically for Cassian, clearly he knows a lot about him, and he says he’ll reward Cassian with 200,000 credits if he accepts the job.
    As Mon Mothma arrives at Luthen’s shop, we finally learn what’s going on here. As we see his shop, let’s first go over the Easter eggs really quickly and then we can move on.. We see the armor from a Mandalorian, specifically Jango Fett or The Mandalorian Din Djarin however as Din isn’t relevant for another 15 years, we can assume it’s Jango’s or just any random Mandalorian Armor.
    We see the family heirloom that belongs to Twi’Lek’s which we saw Hera explain in Rebels.
    We see Star Killer’s helmet, a Gungan shield, the hands from the mortis painting wall from Rebels, Captain MeruMeru’s helmet from revenge of the Sith, as well as Plo Koon’s breathing mask, and both a Jedi and Sith holocron. If I missed some, let me know in the comments below!
    So Luthen Takes senator Mon Mothma in the back of his shop after faking showing her stuff for her husband. They don’t trust the new driver she has, as he might be a spy, so they play the game. Mon Mothma informs Luthen that the Empire is hiring spies by the day as she is constantly surrounded by Imperials or spies and can’t trust anyone.
    As Mon Mothma learns of the dinner party for the governor of Hanna, as she looks at the seating chart, we see that Sly Moore will be there from the Grand Vizier’s private chamber. Sly Moore was the force sensitive bald lady that always followed Palpatine around in the prequels along with Mas Ameda. She could force mind trick people and she is one of the few beings to know Palpatine’s true identity as Darth Sidious. Ars Dangor was an advisor to Palpatine, we heard of him in the Tarkin audio book. So this means we’ll see the dinner with her and Mon Mothma in the next episode, I am looking forward to seeing that because she is like a portal into Palpatine’s world and what he’s up to.
    Cassian and the crew explain that sacred Valley and how the Empire took over 13 years ago, as they learned of the unique storage facility of the Emperor and claimed it for themselves. This means Palpatine probably has so many Jedi and Sith artifacts hidden in there it’s going to be like when Luke went into one of his observatories in battlefront 2’s story mode cinematic.

    Andor has been such a breath of fresh air. It's so cool getting to actually see the Empire's management in a live action setting. We haven't gotten a proper glimpse at the Empire's day to day operations since like A New Hope. I'm loving how lived in every part of Andor has felt. No character feels like a side character if you know what I mean. They all feel like they have lives outside of the small parts they play on screen. And that's a rare thing for ANY series to pull off, let alone one that takes place in a universe as vast as Star Wars.

      Exactly what I’ve been saying man… If Jon & Dave were too busy to do Kenobi, they should have just delayed Kenobi by a few more years, until they had time to work on it, and give it the proper care it deserved… Debra Chow was not a good choice for a Director… She’s fine under Jon & Dave’s guidance… But, not experienced enough to Direct a Series about Kenobi & Vader on her own…
      And, the Writers that wrote Kenobi, were fucking terrible… The head Writer admitted that he hadn’t even watched Revenge Of The Sith…
      It was such a huge disappointment… It should have been, & easily could have been the best Star Wars Series of all time, if they had the right people involved…
      But, instead… We got… REEEEVAAAA!… & WAAAAAAAAADE!… And.. A shitload of shaky Cam, & terrible dialogue.

    I loved this episode. I've always been interested in the politics of the galaxy under the Empire and what average citizens were up to/what their lives were like. This peek behind the curtain of the inner workings of the bureaucracy of the Empire is great. We're starting to see how no one within the organization trusts anyone else, everyone is clamoring for a bigger piece of the pie so they can climb up the ladder, etc. Seeing Mon Mothma at home? Yes, please. More of that. Let's see what the senators are going through, how they're watched by the Empire, the insane amounts of stress that the "good" senators are under. I want to see the utter turmoil that the galaxy is in under this regime rather than just the blanket statement of "the Empire is evil". I'm hoping that this series as a whole shows that nothing is black and white, 100% good or 100% evil. There are always many sides to a story. Understanding all of the sides will just enrich the overall lore exponentially.

      Especially after going through the trouble to get him in the prior episodes.
      I think he more so said it to ease her into letting him into the group.

He’s got some experience in espionage and is clearly a pretty smart guy, but that’s it. Saying he could serve as a replacement is honestly probably quite true to his actual abilities

      you fucking moron that isn’t my point. my point is that the first 3 episodes try to be something that isn’t star wars (hint: everyone comparing it to bladerunner) episode 1 first 5 minutes solid with the bar/club and cassian killing the czerka ripoffs was true to his character. then we get this lame ass over achiever that’s our antagonist for the 3 episodes that poses no threat to cassian since we know what happens. bix boyfriend ratting out cassian is stupid. showing cassians past as a child speaking a language with no subtitles is stupid. seeing him break that CIS ships computer because he saw himself in the mirror stupid. episode 3 where people say “it got great” “it’s peak” that was pathetic since our overachiever gets pushed around by fat old scottish man and they lose. episode 4 was good until they threw in some imperial sexism that never existed before until now in 2022. either way i don’t give a shit if a star wars project has lightsabers or the force. i just don’t want it to be boring and tries horribly to make it “edgy” or more “adult” by saying the words shit and bastard.
